1902 Map of Morrisville

About this map

The Morrisville region at the turn of the century displays a landscape deeply transformed by nineteenth-century hydraulic engineering and rail expansion. Central to this geography is the Chenango Canal, which follows the valley through Bouckville and Pecksport, supported by an extensive network of upland feeders including the Canal Reservoir, Lelands Pond, and Eaton Reservoir. These waterworks, alongside the Chenango River, defined the industrial and agricultural capacity of Madison County during this era.
